Welcome to Gaia! ::

The Puppets are not being even discussed officially right now. But I guess that if they indeed end without a class, they'd end up being a 'branch' of the WM Class.

I would like to suggest a 24 hour waiting rule.

The rule:

After being frozen for more than 24 hours, a player is able to move on without the inactive character. This can only be done if the inactive party has not notified the party they are rping with a reason for being inactive ahead of time.

Benefits:
Encourages people to stay active so they don't get left behind
Activity goes up
RP is not frozen for such a long time

Cons:
People get left behind in the RP

Comments: This is just a suggestion, thought it might be helpful since the poor Kazekage has been sitting there for four days waiting for two people to reply. It's kind of froze up the whole Kazekage office.

We just started one or two months ago, and if someone doesn't post in 24 hours, it's not the end of the world. At tops, I would say make it a 48 hour rule or something. Sure, being active is nice, but not everyone has the liberty of being on often enough to make a post every day.

I've always agreed with this on my own personal level.

People should feel free to unfreeze their characters and move on to different places.

If you need to go back and resolve posts with a slower poster, you can do that as well, just make sure you keep the general time-line in order and realize that the continued conversation is now in the past, so it's kind of lack a flashback reveal after your character has already moved on to do other things.

Well, I'm biased on the other side of the spectrum, since sometimes I've had difficulties with personal life and often forget to announce them. Led me to being left behind in a pile of RP posts where I didn't feel like RPing anymore.

Of course, that post was under the assumption that someone hadn't notified those they're RPing with of their absence.

Sorry to interrupt..but I have a quick question...are all the cursemarks open for application at the moment? Because I believe I would like to apply for one.

Alright then, I'm going to get to work on my application later today then, thanks for answering!

Then act as if all your conversations with the others have been finished and bring Azn's character into your office. Realistically, one person would only come into the kage's office at a time so just pretend like there have been multiple meetings in a day and treat each of them individually, while feeling free to denote where your character's MOST RECENT actions are.

{{Note: this is okay for a Kage to do in his office... yeah it looks like he can be 4 places at once, but he's the kage, and there are a lot of Genin, so it's understandable and somewhat required}}
